Experts taught them how to identify pests, use natural methods to get rid of them, and keep their fields healthy.
The training included talks, practical exercises, and demonstrations on how to use tools like traps and natural treatments.
Farmers were encouraged to share what they learned with others to help more people grow food safely.
